Is your heated seat HOT or WARM? (mine finally works after the recall service) 850

Finally got the recall notice, and took the car in for the service.

Up until that point, the driver's side seat heater hadn't been working since I bought it a year ago. The wires had been disconnected, and I couldn't get it back in there. Even with relatively small hands, I couldn't feel it thru the foam opening.

Took the car to the dealer, told them to re-connect the wires, and tada~ it works! Too bad I (and my wife) didn't have it during the New England winter days.

The only question is - in 940, my buns felt like they were getting truly toasted, but in 850, it's only warm. I'm wondering if it's due to the safety issue they found, or was it always like this? It's a minor point, but I'm curious... and dreading the work in front of me. :)
